....Most children’s clothing is made out of cotton. What the label will not tell you is that unless that cotton is organic, it has often been treated with harmful chemicals that cannot always be washed away and, thus, could be absorbed by your baby’s skin.

Cotton is one of the biggest crops grown for use in clothing production. Although, since it is not a food crop the pesticides, herbicides and chemicals used on it are not regulated.

By clothing your child in organic material, you are limiting their exposure to harmful chemicals like petrochemicals, nickle, formaldehyde, acrylic and PVC found in non-organic clothes that have been linked to health problems.

Second, their immature metabolism and organ systems are less capable of fending off harmful chemicals.

Thirdly, babies spend a lot of time on the floor, where they are more likely to inhale dust and particles. And last, the fact that babies put their hands, toys, and everything else in their mouths makes them more likely to ingest the chemicals to which they are exposed.
